change vic license to nsw Page 8

Moving north of the border? You need to switch your VIC licence to a NSW licence within three months of becoming a NSW resident. Head to Service NSW with proof of identity, proof of NSW address, your current VIC licence, and any medical paperwork; you’ll do an eyesight test and hand over the VIC card. If your licence is current and equivalent, no driving test is usually required; if it’s expired or restricted, tests can apply. Fees apply, and your demerit points and history tag along like unwanted luggage. Don’t forget your car—interstate rego transfers are separate and may need a blue slip. Pro tip: book ahead and bring originals so you’re not sent packing back to the printer.
